He had never eaten it, nor even heard of it.
"Liquor chocolates are candies filled with alcohol," Xiao Shumiao generously took another liquor chocolate and stuffed it into Qin Junye’s hand. "Little brother, try it, it’s delicious, but I don’t like it, Brother Xiaoyue likes it."
Qin Junye unwrapped the candy and put the liquor chocolate into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, a sweet wine flavor spread in his mouth.
In a few bites, he swallowed the candy and said to Xiao Shumiao in surprise, "There’s alcohol in the candy! My grandpa loves drinking, and the wine he drinks tastes just like this!"
Xiao Shumiao looked at him curiously, "Little brother, have you ever drunk your grandpa’s wine?"
"I have," Qin Junye said, "My grandpa drinks wine with every meal. Before drinking, he always lets me take a little sip. My grandpa says that drinking is an art, something to be enjoyed, but one shouldn’t drink too much, or you’ll become a drunkard."
As he spoke, his voice became softer.
He missed his grandpa.
Seeing his expression gradually turn sad, Xiao Shumiao felt a bit at a loss.
He looked down at the snacks on the oilcloth, picked up a piece of chocolate, and stuffed it into Qin Junye’s hand, "Little brother, eat this, it’s sweet! The book says chocolate contains happiness factors, and when you’re feeling down, eating a few pieces of chocolate can improve your mood."
Qin Junye clutched the chocolate, looked up at Xiao Shumiao, and after a moment, he smiled, "Little brother, thank you."
He suddenly no longer doubted that these people had other motives.
He found Xiao Shumiao very cute and kind.
A family that raised such a lovely and kind child definitely wasn’t a bad one.
He wanted to go home with these people even more.
He was still too young to understand many things.
But in his mind, there was a vague notion... As long as he went with these people, his future life would definitely be completely different from now.
"Little brother, don’t call me little brother!" Xiao Shumiao said, "Little brother doesn’t sound good, call me Xiao Shu, both my mom and Brother Xiaoyue call me Xiao Shu."
Qin Junye was curious, "Why doesn’t little brother sound good?"
Xiao Shumiao looked down at a certain part of himself, "It just doesn’t sound good!"
Qin Junye understood and laughed heartily, "Alright then, I won’t call you little brother anymore, I’ll call you Xiao Shu."
As Xiao Shumiao pointed out, little brother indeed didn’t sound good.
However, here, very few people used little brother; they all called it little bird.
Sometimes, when naughty kids ran out to play with nothing on, the adults would joke that they were airing out their little birds.
Seeing the three kids chatting and laughing happily, Ye Xingbei was relieved.
After letting the three children play for a bit longer, seeing it was about time, she made sure the three children washed up, then tucked them into a tent.
After they fell asleep, Ye Xingbei returned to her own tent.
She lay down beside Gu Junzhu, her hand on his chest, and casually chatted, "Did you notice? Although the clothes on that child were very old, they were very clean, and the child’s behavior is quite elegant, he seems well-bred, not like a wild child without anyone taking care of him."
"Yes," Gu Junzhu said, "His adoptive grandpa was originally a researcher. It was only after retirement that he came here."
"A researcher? So impressive?" Ye Xingbei was surprised, "Then why did his two sons turn out like this?"
